Demolish all Christian churches ten miles of the Oklahoma city bombing

F

FUCK THE POLICE

911 EVERY DAY
It is an incredible insult to the people who died in the attack that a house of worship that is related to the attackers religion exists vaguely near the general area of the attack.
 
The Guardian reported that McVeigh wrote a letter to them claiming to be an agnostic and that he did not believe in a hell.[81][82] McVeigh once said that he believed the universe was guided by natural law, energized by some universal higher power that showed each person right from wrong if they paid attention to what was going on inside them. He had also said, "Science is my religion."[83]

Not on his death bed.

"McVeigh invited California conductor/composer David Woodard to perform a pre-requiem (a Mass for those who are about to die), on the eve of his execution. He had also requested a Catholic chaplain."

And? How is that evidence of belief. I got married in a Christian church, does that make my disbelieving behind a Christian?

Wow, Bittermark, you should be ashamed your religion was associated with this and burn down any scientific facilities within a few miles of the OKC bombing site.

If that is his religion, then clearly that would only be justice, since its an offense to the victims of those killed to have a house of worship vaguely related to the attackers religion within a set distance of the attack site.

Why would anybody ask for and receive the Last Rites of the Church if they were non-believers till the bitter end?

TERRE HAUTE, Indiana (CNN) -- Strapped to a gurney, awaiting the lethal injection Monday that would punish him for the Oklahoma City bombing, Timothy McVeigh asked to see a priest.

Bureau of Prisons officials said McVeigh, a self-described agnostic, received the Catholic sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick by an unidentified prison chaplain.

"McVeigh did see last rites which were provided by a BOP chaplain," said Jeff Grondolsky, a spokesman with the Bureau of Prisons.

Part of the sacrament includes confession and an absolution of sins.

Did McVeigh confess to the priest?

"I think it speaks for itself," McVeigh attorney Robert Nigh said.

McVeigh, who made no final statement before his execution, was offered a priest by Terre Haute Federal Prison Warden Harley Lappin. McVeigh said he would consider the offer.

After a 15-minute meeting with Nigh, McVeigh agreed to see the priest and take the final sacraments of the Catholic faith.

McVeigh was baptized in the Catholic Church as a boy, but had stopped practicing and recently described himself as agnostic.

McVeigh biographer Lou Michel spoke to McVeigh's father, Bill McVeigh, after the execution.

"He was glad to hear that Tim had taken last rites and that maybe religion had hit him in the last few hours," Michel said.

The rites were performed before curtains were opened to allow witnesses to observe the execution.

Father Ron Ashmore of St. Margaret Mary Church in Terre Haute said he was "glad" McVeigh asked for last rites. Ashmore met McVeigh while doing work with the prison before the current chaplain was hired.

"It means that we stand before God," Ashmore said, "and ask for Your forgiveness ... Save me and lead me to eternal life." He said it wouldn't "have surprised me" if McVeigh had not asked for the sacrament, but "I'm sure he struggled with the evil that he did."

McVeigh died by lethal injection at 7:14 a.m. (8:14 a.m. EDT).

McVeigh was executed for the April 19, 1995, attack in Oklahoma City that killed 168 people and wounded hundreds more. The bombing was the deadliest terrorism act ever on U.S. soil.

McVeigh's death was the first federal execution since 1963.

Well, we better burn down the Catholic churches too, just in case. Although I think it is far more likely his "science of religion" that he followed when he was bombing the buildings would be the one that people would be "after"... Since, apparently all actions taken by any person who is of any religion must be an action taken "for" that religion...

I presume you didn't really mean to address this to me, since my comments had to do only with whether or not McVeigh was agnostic, and not whether churches should be burnt.
